Vertical has supplied the perfect gift to you, its loyal readers, this holiday season by releasing a quartet of titles to satisfy the ficklest of friends and family members on your shopping list. Don’t let the anxiety of buying something for that cranky old uncle get to you this year; put down the nose-hair trimmer and send him to Northern Mongaul with Guin and his intrepid band of allies as they flee an army of 12,000 into the treacherous desert wastes of Nospherus with The Guin Saga, Book 1: The Leopard Mask. Disinterested teenagers on your list? Send the girls to outer space with Keiko Takemiya’s galactic epic, Andromeda Stories (Volume 2 is out now!) and transport the boys to Cheironia, where they can drool over bodacious babes and bathe in the barbarian swordplay of The Guin Saga Manga: The Seven Magi, Volume 1. You may be surprised to catch a mumbled, “Thanks!” beneath their seemingly unexcitable miens. Finally, for that engaged, newlywed, or married person on your list there’s Asa Nonami’s Now You’re One of Us, voted one of the best reads of 2007 by fearsmag.com, writing that it “does for marriage what Jaws did for a day at the beach.” So give ’em a gift they won’t return this year… give ’em a heaping healthy dose of Vertical.
